Engineering Manager, Frontend

San Francisco, California, United States, Remote US Engineering

Company Overview

At Netlify, we're building a platform to empower digital designers and developers to build better, more elaborate web projects than ever before. We're aiming to change the landscape of modern web development.

We’re a venture-backed company, and so far we've raised ~$45M from Andreessen Horowitz and Kleiner Perkins, Bloomberg, and prominent founders and professionals in our space.

About the role:

The role breaks down into three big parts:

Expansion: We are rapidly hiring and we need to expand the team. You will help us continue to build a diverse and inclusive team. This involves identifying skills the team needs, shepherding candidates through the hiring process, and building a more reliable, unbiased, and fair hiring process.

Delivery: Balancing technical debt and new features is always nuanced. You will partner with the product management team to manage this balance in accordance with the needs of the business. You will help define a project management process to help delivery and predictability with the goal of continuously shipping code to production.

Cultivation: You'll be instrumental in growing the careers of the individual engineers on your team. This means being their advocate and helping guide them in the direction they want. It also means being a culture driver on the team, fostering a positive, trusting, and supportive team.

We have a small headquarters in San Francisco but we are a largely distributed engineering team. You will need to enable the team to work productively across different timezones. Fostering good habits of documentation, empathy, integrity to delivery on committed work are some of the key elements for success on our team. Experience working and managing remote teams is a big plus.

Experienced manager of a technical frontend team

Understanding of how engineering teams collaborate and track a project delivery

Commitment to designing a hiring process that is fair, efficient, and repeatable

Communicate priorities and expectations to both team and leadership

Passion for mentorship and advocacy for your team members in their career development

About the team:

The core frontend team works on the main Netlify experience, providing a usable, reliable, engaging experience for our users. The team collaborates especially closely with product design, user experience, backend services and marketing.

The company is remote friendly and the teams are distributed across the globe, largely in western Europe and North America. Often coordination will have to take into account lag, timezones, and autonomy.

Locations

About 63% of the company are remote across the globe, the rest are in our HQ in San Francisco. However to maintain a distributed culture we have Tuesdays and Thursdays as work from home days.
